    Verse 6
    ever 
    since 

    I 
    was 
    a 
    little 
    child 
    (ooh) 

    I 
    have felt 
    the 
    same 
    old 
    fear 
    (ooh) 

    That 
    I 
    alone 
    would freeze 
    while 

    the world 
    proceeds 
    (ooh) 

    I'll be 
    forever 
    stuck 
    right 

    here 
    (ooh) 

    But I can't 
    live 
    the 
    old 
    way 
    (oo
    h) 

    That 
    way 
    nearly 
    left 
    me 

    dead 
    (ooh) 

    I need 
    someone 
    new 
    who 
    can tell 

    me 
    the truth 
    (ooh) 

    And I don't 
    care 
    who 
    it 
    is 
    (ooh) 

    And I 
    want 
    the knife 
    in 
    deep
    Verse 7
    , 

    oh 
    (ooh) 

    And 
    I 
    want 
    someone 
    to give 
    it 

    a twist 
    (ooh) 

    Verse 8
    I'm coming 
    into 
    the city 
    now 

    And 
    I've 
    only 
    said 
    it 
    once 

    It's 
    a phrase 
    so 
    clean 
    I 

    don't know 
    what 
    it 
    means 

    But 
    it's 
    more 
    than 
    I've 

    said 
    in 
    months 

    You 
    never 
    ask 
    what 
    I 
    did 
    that made 

    The 
    cops 
    finally 
    pick 
    me 
    up

    You 
    wanna 
    know 
    where 

    I'm 
    trying 
    to go 

    Where 
    I'll 
    be, 
    not 
    where 
    I 
    was 


    Verse 9
    I say 
    it 
    one 
    more 
    time, 

    you 
    nod 
    and 
    smile 

    And 
    it's 
    better 
    than 
    on 
    the drugs 

    Verse 10

    Point 
    me 
    toward 
    to 
    the real, 

    motherfuckers 
    (ahh) 

    Point 
    me 
    toward 
    to the 
    real 
    (ahh) 

    I've 
    been 
    lied 
    to 
    and 

    abused 
    (ahh) 

    Time 
    to 
    try 
    to 
    heal 
    (ahh) 

    Cut me 
    loose, 
    cut 
    me 
    loose 
    (ahh) 

    See 
    what 
    freedom 
    might 
    reveal 
    (ahh) 

    Cut 
    my 
    bound 
    hands 
    free, 
    and 

    Point 
    me toward 
    the 
    real

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
